Tell us about your character Suman.
She is an extremely independent girl who stays in a joint family with her maternal side of the family since her parents passed away. She has a catering business and two main goals in life to repay her parents’ Rs 20 lakh debt and to make up with her childhood friend, Shravan, with whom she had fought long back.
Do you relate to Suman’s characterIJ
The producers felt that I would fit the role well as I have a few things in common with her. Suman’s character is easily relatable for me. However, she behaves according to the situation she is facing while I tend to be loud mostly.
How is the love story on this show different from all the others on TVIJ
First of all, this story has a childhood connection; the protagonists have a history. They did not just meet and fall in love. Also, the two characters undergo a role reversal of sorts. As children, it was the girl who was dominating but now, it’s the guy throwing around his arrogance.
You started off with a film (lekar Hum Deewana Dil) but then switched to TV. Why and how is each different from the otherIJ
I feel it is all about what you love doing. If you love acting, then it doesn’t matter if it is films or TV. However, TV is very different from films. Initially I had trouble adjusting to the hectic schedule, but now I’ve adapted. Films are made so patiently while TV keeps you on your toes and makes you alert.
Aren’t you worried that like most serials, the content will start faltering soonIJ
In terms of content, I have a phobia towards saas-bahu dramas. So you will never see me in a role like that. If that happens to this show, it means something better is in store for me.
